Description

The Challenge Act Gate is a golden frame with various circular shapes as decorations. Its appearance differs according to Classic and Modern Sonic. For Modern Sonic, the Challenge Act Gates have a curved top and a flat bottom. For Classic Sonic on the other hand, this order is reversed.

Overview

After Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic restore the colors and space for every three sets of Areas in White Space, the Challenge Act Gates will appear in the area surrounding them.

Upon entering them, the Sonics can play a specific Challenge Act. Once that mission has been cleared, a Bonus Bell will appear on top of the Challenge Act Gate. When these bells are rung, they will release a musical note that contains collectible music or artwork. These notes however, has to be caught within twenty seconds or they will fade away.

Just as the Sonics can restore color to a level by clearing all of the level's acts, the Sonics can restore more color to White Space by clearing the Challenge Act Gates. For every fifth Challenge Act Gate the Sonics clear in an area, a part of the color in White Space will be restored.

Sonic will also need to clear some of the challenge act gates to be able to collect a chaos emerald and progress to the next zone.
